In the first few weeks alone, we’ve seen restocks from Amazon, EE, Hamleys, ShopTo, PlayStation Direct, Very, Littlewoods, AO, John Lewis & Partners (finally), Smyths Toys, Game – twice, Currys and Argos.

Our liveblog is here to get you one of Sony’s elusive next-gen consoles, as well as provide you with the details on the best games and accessories to grab alongside your new machine. If you want to find out which online retailers will be the first to restock, then keep scrolling to receive updates as they happen.

Can you buy the PS5 at Asda?

09:40 , Eva Waite-Taylor

Yes, you can buy the PS5 at Asda. But it’s not restocked the elusive console since 22 December and stock sold out within minutes. Drops usually take place between 8am and 9am. Asda isn’t the easiest retailer to secure a console from, but we do have a few tips.

Make sure to have all your payment details saved ahead of time and that you’ve added the console to your wish list. Sometimes you aren’t able to check out from the main PS5 landing page, but you are able to check out from your wish list.

The PS5 controller charger you need

Sony PlayStation 5 dualsense charging station: £24.99, Currys.co.uk

While this “isn’t the most exciting of accessories to own, but if you regularly need to recharge your controllers and you’re keen on a neat-looking living space, you won’t regret investing in one” noted our review of the best PS5 accessories.

All you need to do is “slot one or two controllers in and the charging station soon recharges them up to full while keeping them out of your way and looking good under your TV”.

And if you’re still not convinced our writer noted that it’s one of the “most essential accessories”.

BT Shop restock PS5 news

09:15 , Eva Waite-Taylor

Rumours are circulating that BT Shop might restock today.

But, it’ll only be available to BT Broadband customers. And you need an access code to buy the console. If you’re a BT Broadband customer, this can be found on your MyBT portal. Just log in, scroll down to the “Your Offers” section and click on the PS5.

You can also register your interest on the BT website. You’ll receive an email containing an access code that will take you directly to the order page where you can buy a PS5 when it goes live. It’s basically the same method as above, but with less steps. You’ll need your account details for both.
